4-1. Paper Path
Paper can be fed into the printer either from the Multi-purpose Tray (PagePro 1200W: 150 sheets;
PagePro 1250E 200 sheets) or Manual Feed Tray.
The paper feed system can be extended to a 3-way system by Installing the Second Paper Cassette
Unit (500 sheets).
The paper fed by the Paper Take-up Roller is transported to the Image Transfer Roller, Fusing Roller
and then Paper Exit Roller. After this, the paper is fed out onto the Print Tray
PagePro 1 250E shown below.

4-2. Paper Take-up Section
(1) Multi-purpose Tray
Mechanism
• When the Paper Take-up Solenoid is energized, the drive of the Main Motor is transmitted to the
Paper Take-up Roller via the Paper Take-up Gear (one-way clutch) to turn the Paper Take-up
Roller one revolution.
• At the same time, the Depressing Cam turns and lifts the Paper Lifting Plate, and the first (top)
sheet of paper on the tray is fed to the printer.
• The Fixed Separating Pad is used for the paper separation system. It prevents the second and sub-
sequent sheets of paper from being fed together with the top sheet.
• The actual length of the paper is detected using the period of time through which the Paper Take-
up Sensor remains energized (or through which the paper moves past the sensor) and it is deter-
mined whether the actual length matches the paper length specified by the controller.

Paper Empty Detection
There is a Paper Empty Sensor provided on the upper side of the Multi-purpose Tray. It functions to
detect a paper-empty condition in the Multi-purpose Tray and the Manual Feed Tray.
When there is paper, the actuator is raised and thus the sensor light is blocked.
When paper runs out, the actuator drops into a cutout in the tray, thus unblocking the sensor light.
(2) Second Paper Cassette Unit (option)
Mechanism
• Since a drive motor is not installed in this unit, the drive of Ml is transmitted to the paper take-up
and transport sections in the unit via the Drive Transmission Gear.
• Although the feeding method is the same as the Multi-purpose Tray in the printer, the corner sep-
aration system is employed in this unit as the paper separating method.
• Paper is separated at the corner by the paper separation finger in the paper cassette and the
strength of paper itself (corner separation system). One sheet of paper is fed for each paper take-
up cycle.
• The Paper Take-up Solenoid (SL21) in the unit is controlled by the printer via PWB-A in the unit.

Paper Empty Detection
There is a Paper Empty Sensor provided on the Connecting Board, detecting a paper-empty condi-
tion in the Second Paper Cassette Unit.
When there is paper, the actuator is raised and thus the sensor light is blocked.
When paper runs out, the actuator drops into a cutout in the Paper Lifting Plate, thus unblocking the
sensor light.

Cassette Type Detection
The Second Paper Cassette Unit is provided with a Cassette Type Detecting Switch that comes with
a lever.
When the paper cassette is slid into position, the projections on the right-hand side of the cassette
push the lever according to the size of the paper loaded in the cassette, thus turning off or on the Cas-
sette Type Detecting Switch.
The Cassette Type Detecting Switch consists of three subswitches. The combination, in which these
subswitches are turned on and off, allows the printer to determine the cassette type (or the paper
size).

4-3. Drum Charge
(1) Overview
• The PC Drum is charged with static electricity before laser exposure.
• The Drum Charge Brush and the Pre-charge Film are used for the charging method.
• The Drum Charge Brush and Pre-charge Film charging generate little ozone in the printer.
Because the charge is directly applied to the PC Drum, the PC Drum can be charged by low volt-
age. At the same time, the PC Drum can be charged stably and evenly.
• The Pre-charge Film supplies the charge to the PC Drum before being charged by the Drum
Charge Brush to improve the charging efficiency.
• The Drum Charge Brush is turned by the drive of the Main Motor (Ml) via a gear.
• The electric potential on the surface of the charged PC Drum is approximately-800 V.

4-4. Laser Exposure
Laser exposure is the process of creating an invisible static charge image on the PC Drum by the
laser beam emitted from the Print Head Unit.
This process is controlled as follows in order to appropriately time image printing.
Print Head Unit
PC Drum
In the sub-scanning direction (vertical direction)
• When the printer receives the PRINT signal, the Polygon Motor and the Main Motor rotate and
the paper is fed into the printer.
• The printing in the sub-scanning direction is started when the Controller Board sends the VIDEO
signal to the Print Head a certain time after the leading edge of the paper activates the Paper Sen-
sor (TOD signal).
• The print starting position for the 2nd line is decided by delaying the VIDEO signal sending tim-
ing.
In the scanning direction (horizontal direction)
• The SOS Sensor is installed on the Laser Diode Control Board to unify the laser emission timing
for each scan line.

PRINTING AREA
• The controller sends the VIDEO signal at the appropriate paper size to the engine (Controller
Board).
• The controller determines the start point of printing according to the TOD signal (sub-scanning
direction) sent from the engine (Controller Board) and the HSYNC signal.
• Laser exposure is started when the print head receives the VIDEO signal.

4-6. Image Transfer
(1) Overview
• Image transfer is the process of transferring the toner image created on the PC Drum in the devel-
oping process to paper.
• Roller image transfer is used instead of corona image transfer as the image transfer method.
• In roller image transfer, there is little generation of ozone due to corona discharge. Also, there is
no blur of toner because the paper is always pressed by the PC Drum and the Image Transfer
Roller.
• When cleaning the Image Transfer Roller and before printing, reverse bias is applied.
• The residual electric potential on the paper is dissipated via a discharge needle.

(2) Fusing Temperature Control Circuit
• The Thermistor detects the surface temperature of the Heat Roller and inputs that analog voltage
into IC1. Corresponding to this data, the Heater Lamp ON/OFF signal is output from IC1A-55,
causing the Heater Lamp to rum ON or OFF to control the fusing temperature.
• When the Heater Lamp is not turned OFF even if the Thermistor detects a high temperature mal-
function (if the surface temperature of the Heat Roller exceeds 230°C), the signal from IC1-79
changes from L to H to turn OFF the Heater Lamp forcibly.

3) Instructions for Handling the PWBs with MOS ICs
The following precautions must be observed when handling circuit boards with MOS (Metal Oxide
Semiconductor) ICs.
During transportation or when in storage, new circuit boards must not be indiscriminately
removed from their protective conductive bags.
Do not store or place circuit boards in a location exposed to direct sunlight.
When it becomes absolutely necessary to remove a board from its conductive bag or case, always
place it on its conductive mat in an area as free as possible from static electricity.
4) During Replacement the PWBs with MOS ICs:
Before unplugging connectors from the circuit boards, make sure that the power cord has been
unplugged from the power outlet.
When removing a board from its conductive bag or case, do not touch the pins of the ICs or the
printed pattern. Place it in position by holding only the edges of the board.
Before plugging connectors into the board, make sure that the power cord has been unplugged
from the power outlet.
5) During Inspection the PWBs with MOS ICs:
Avoid checking the IC directly with a multimeter; use connectors on the board.
Never create a closed circuit across IC pins with a metal tool.
Where it is absolutely necessary to touch the ICs and other electrical components on the board, be
sure to ground your body.
6) During Transportation/Storage the Drum Cartridge:
Use the specified carton whenever moving or storing the Imaging Cartridge.
The storage temperature is in the range between -20°C and +40°C.
7) Handling the Drum Cartridge:
The PC Drum is extremely sensitive to light shock and takes long time to recover sensitivity.
Never open the protection cover or expose the PC Drum to direct sunlight for long periods of
time.
Do not to contaminate the surface of the PC Drum with oil-base solvent, fingerprints, and other
foreign matter.
Do not scratch the surface of the PC Drum.

6-1. Adjustment of Image Registration
After Mechanical Control Board (Controller Board) is replaced, be sure to make a print of an image
sample.
If the starting position of the image (registration gap (d)=4mm) in the sub-scanning direction is not
suitable, adjust the gap by following the procedure described below.
1. Remove the Right Cover so that the variable resistor (PagePro 1250E: VR101, or PagePro
1200W: VR1) on the Controller Board can be adjusted.
2. Turn the variable resistor on the Controller Board so that d measures 4 mm.

7-1. Paper Misfeed Detection
(1) Overview
The printer determines if paper is left inside itself by detecting the status (H or L) of the signal out-
put from the Paper Take-up Sensor (PS1) and the Paper Exit Sensor (PS3).
A paper misfeed while paper is being transported is detected by monitoring the timing at which the
signal from the Paper Take-up Sensor (PS1) or the Paper Exit Sensor (PS3) rises or falls.
When a paper misfeed is detected, the drive for all elements is stopped.
• During multi printing:
If there is paper being transported through the printer when condition 2 listed below is detected, all
elements but the Heater Lamp (HI) will be stopped after the paper has been fed out of the printer.
• During single printing:
When only condition 2 listed below is detected, all elements but the Heater Lamp (HI) will be
stopped.
